Greybox Browser Image ***14/05/11***

Hi BaconFries,

i have a question regarding the Greybox. When i add your extension and preview it, it works fine. When i add mine, it doesnt work at all. if i add yours onto the page where mine is, mine works and then if i remove yours, mine stops working again.

when i test my extension in the builder, it works fine.

when i check the preview folder in 'temp' on your extension, the greybox files are there. when i check the same folder on my extension, its empty!

any ideas?

i have included all files in the correct way using the builder....


thanks

Hi Nigel ok got a look and I can see what is wrong it probally might be easier to explain via a email I can post here what I see to be wrong if you prefer.....

Hi BaconFries

I think I figured it about 5 minutes ago.

The embedded files had been moved so they weren't available when published. I updated the file locations and currently it's working.

Is that what you found?


Cheers

No I found that you hadnt used the same HTML and also found double code that may cause errors...

This is how I use mine using the (rel="gb_pageset[search_sites]")
<a href="$website$" title="$title$" rel="gb_pageset[search_sites]">
<img src="$image$" alt="$alt$" id="$imageid$" border="$bsize$" style="width:$width$px;height:$height$px;border:$bsize$px $color$ $style$;z-index:$z-order$"/></a>

If you look at yours you will see that you are calling two (rel="gb_page_center[1200, 650][search_sites])
<a href="http://www.google.com" title="Google" rel="gb_page_center[1200, 650][search_sites]">
<img src="images/shop-aveda-logo.gif" alt="tester" id="$imageid$" border="0" style="width:170px;height:48px;border:$size$px #000000 dotted;z-index:0"/></a>

Were it should be
<a href="http://www.google.com" title="Google" rel="gb_page_center[1200, 650]">
<img src="images/shop-aveda-logo.gif" alt="tester" id="$imageid$" border="0" style="width:170px;height:48px;border:$size$px #000000 dotted;z-index:0"/></a>

Hi BaconFries

I couldn't find the code

When I looked at the HTML in the source extension, there was only 1 line of code. I can only think I posted an older one with trials. Mine works fine now ( well nearly fine )

In some instances, I can add the extension to the web page it see it clearly but, when I preview it the image flashes then disappears.....

As soon as I have this bit fixed, I'll post it up with the selectable versions



Cheers

Hey Bacon

There is a snag with both yours and my extension. On my page I have a standard navigation menu horizontal with White text and clear background. When the greybox is used, the menu appears on top of the greybox screen. I can't get rid of it so wondered what nay be causing it.

Any ideas?

Hi Nigel hmmm just checked my version with a transparent menu and it seems to be ok...I did try yours and the menu does appear on top of the lightbox....Now if I add my version to page and add yours then both work as they should the overlay covers the menu...

But f I add yours to page first then mine and test then the menu gets place on top of the overlay...with both images

I have uploaded two demo urls made of your version and mine
I have added the same rel="" for both just to show them working using exactly the same properties... if you take a closer look at my extension version you will see that I have added a property for increasing the index order so that you can bring the overlay to the top so that it covers anything like menus images etc etc were in your version you dont have this option to increase the z-index order...

Hello mate

What's the missing setting? I've looked at your extension vs mine on page source and I see an extra line but nothing that resembles the settings for Z order. I added the line so it looks just like yours but my menu is still on top....

Cheers

Hi Nigel download and replace the gb_styles.css in the extension with the modified one in the zip file...I had forgotten that this was modified till I looked at your files in preview folder.... and saw the lower z-index settings...credits go out to Eddy for this mod as he provided it last year when I made all the greybox extension then....
